Our USERRA legal team fights for Servicemembers and Reservists.
Too many hard-working veterans and reservists face harassment and retaliation on the job. All they want to do is serve their country and do well in their civilian careers. Instead, they get passed over for promotion, penalized for going to drill, denied their rightful positions when leaving the military, or even fired. This is wrong, and we fight back.
Founded by Army reservists, Equal Justice Solutions offers a unique understanding of the challenges faced by service members. Our USERRA employment lawyers know these issues firsthand, and we’re committed to ensuring that your sacrifices for our country don’t come at the expense of your civilian career.
The Uniformed Services Employment and Re-employment Rights Act of 1994 (“USERRA”) is the federal law that protects Servicemembers and veterans in the workplace. Unfortunately, not all employers honor their obligations under USERRA, leading to various employment issues for service members.
Some of the most common USERRA violations we encounter include:
One of the key protections is the escalator principle, which ensures that you return to your civilian job at the same level you would have attained if you had not been called to service.
For example, let’s say you get deployed after being on the job for one year. You then return a year later. You should return with the same seniority, benefits, and pensions as if you had never been gone, i.e. a third year employee. This is the escalator principle.
In our USERRA employment lawyers’ experience, violations of the escalator principle are the most common issue faced by returning service members. Employers often fail to promote or compensate service members as they should, effectively stalling their career progression. Our USERRA veterans’ rights attorneys are here to ensure that doesn’t happen to you.
With the right employment lawyer, USERRA provides powerful remedies for Servicemembers whose rights have been violated. If your employer has failed to comply with the law, you may be entitled to:
We understand that many military members adopt a “suck it up” mentality when facing adversity. However, when it comes to your employment rights, staying silent can cause long-term damage to your career and financial stability. You have the right to be treated fairly, and we’re here to ensure that happens. An employment lawyer can make this happen.
